Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of King Richard the Third of England King richard the third, known com mouly in history as Richard the Usurper, was perhaps as bad a man as the principle of hered itary sovereignty ever raised to the throne, or perhaps it should rather be said, as the principle of hereditary sovereignty ever made. There is no evidence that his natural disposition was marked with any peculiar depravity. He was made reckless, unscrupulous, and cruel by the influences which surrounded him, and the cir cumstances in which he lived, and by being habituated to believe, from his earliest child hood, that the family to which he belonged were born to live in luxury and splendor, and to reign, while the millions that formed the great mass of the community were created only to toil and to obey. The manner in which the principles of pride, ambition, and desperate love of power, which were instilled into his mind in his earliest years, brought forth in the end their.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, King of England Two centuries have elapsed - a short period in the history of national revolutions - since Charles the First ascended the throne of Eng land, and the name of this monarch still awakens the most conflicting opinions. Yet a right understanding of the character and conduct of one who involuntarily became a most eminent actor in a mighty revolution can never be a matter of indifference to the philosopher and the politician; nor should sachan exhibition of human nature, where the ennobling and the degrading passions are at the same time called forth, fail to interest our common sympathies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from King Charles I: A Study Stuart charm was subtle, elusive, magnetic -the charm of a dignity of long descent added to a very human chain of faults, faults that were generous always. To use a modern word, the Stuarts were victims of temperament - an obstinate vein of sadness pursued their gayest moments, a haunting sense of tragedy paralysed too often their efforts. One might almost say that Pre destination was the y in their ointment. Charles I would have been a better King north of the Tweed. He was more of a Scot than an Englishman. It is too often forgotten that he was, in a sense, a foreign Prince, a foreign King. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manner of the Coronation of King Charles the First of England: At Westminister, 2 Feb, 1626 When the learned editor of Monumenta Ritualia was engaged in making a comparison of the various Orders of Coronation used in the case of successive Kings and Queens of England, he was unable to bring forward any satisfactory authority for the form used at Candlemas, 1626, when Charles I. was crowned. Mr. Maskell therefore was forced to refer his readers to "the very obscure and confused account in Prynne, Signal loyalty (pp. 90, 270)." Thanks to the liberality of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and to the great kindness of the authorities of St. John's College, Cambridge, we are now able to print (1) The collation of an order contemplated, and (2) The form actually used upon the memorable occasion above-mentioned. (3) Notes written by Dr. William Laud (then Bishop of St. David's), some immediately before, and others subsequently to the Coronation. The second of these documents (transcribed for the Henry Bradshaw Society, by Mr. Alfred Rogers, from the little volume which the King is said, by an excellent authority, to have held in his hand at the ceremony) forms the basis of our text. The first and third contribute the majority of our annotations. Reference has been made occasionally to a fourth MS. authority, viz., Sancroft's draft made by him for the Coronation of James II., for which purpose he had recourse to the Coronation Service of Charles I. Negotiations for Prince Charles's marriage with the Princess Henrietta Maria of France had been concluded shortly before the death of K. James I., but the nuptial ceremony had not as yet been performed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, King of England, Vol. 1 of 2 This work which was published, at intervals, many years ago, in a domestic revolution (1830 has not been unsuccessful in obtaining the sympathy of the public, probably, in a chief degree, from the novelty of its plan; and, it is to be hoped, to some extent, from the impartiality of its researches and the justness of its views. I have assuredly not written these pages as a partisan. I was attracted to the subject early in life, because it seemed to me rich in all that interests the moral speculator. I believe that I have composed these volumes solely as the history of human nature. These Commentaries aim at forming a necessary supplement to our knowledge of an eventful ago, by investigating still controverted topics of paramount and enduring interest, and by throwing light upon personages and occurrences through the combination of secret with public history.

That is, he becomes so in theory, according to the principles of the English Constitution, though, in fact, he is a fugitive and an exile still. Notwithstanding his exclusion, however, from the exercise of what he considered his right to reign, he was acknowledged as king by all true Royalists in England, and by all the continental powers. They would not aid him to recover his throne, but in the courts and royal palaces which he visited he was regarded as a king, and was treated, in form at least, with all the consideration and honor which belonged to royalty.
